JetBlue flight attendant released on bail

NEW YORK (WKOW) -- A JetBlue flight attendant who argued with a passenger on a plane before making a grand exit down its emergency slide has been released on bail in New York.

Steven Slater was released from jail Tuesday night.

Slater was charged with several felonies but has been elevated to folk-hero status by thousands of people who shrug off allegations he endangered others and praise him for his take-this-job-and-shove-it moment.
